“Blue Heaven”

Reviewed 20 May 2013 NEW

This is one of the best Kimptons I've stayed in, by far. I live in the area and sought refuge here during a power outage. The manager was extremely gracious and gave me a discounted "power outage" rate! My room was such a calming oasis of light blues, silver, and white. I didn't want to leave! All the staff members...

“Nicest hotel in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia”

Reviewed 19 May 2013 NEW

We come to Alexandria every Spring/Summer and usually are disappointed with the hotel choices. We were pleased to finally find this hotel and I would recommend it and stay here again. The staff was very kind and helpful and the hotel was clean and comfortable. Our room (Lorien Suite) had plenty of room and even though it overlooked the courtyard,... More

My husband and I stayed at the Lorien for several days in Nov when we made a rode trip from Dallas to see family in both VA in PA. In the middle of this trip my husband had a "work crisis" which almost caused him to have to fly back home. However, the peaceful spa-like room and setting we were... More

Hello Furboyz, I was pleased to note the peaceful ambiance created by our guest room was able to assist with the difficult work situation your husband encountered.

“Convenient & Comfortable”

Reviewed 11 May 2013

Easy access to King Street Metro for quick trip into the District. Kimpton staff was friendly and helpful. Variety of restaurant choices nearby as well as a Whole Foods. Solid internet connection with easy access. HVAC responsive to temperature settings. Usual Kimpton amenities with a great, large bathroom. Room was very quiet, but #211 had an odd corner window only,... More

Dear tandemcha, I am glad you found our staff to be pleasant and accommodating, and that you enjoyed all the amenities we offered. It’s nice to note you made good use of the Metro just two blocks away to zip up to DC. I am sorry there wasn’t enough light for your needs, but we certainly have many more guest... More

“Worth the Price”

Reviewed 9 May 2013

The Lorien is a block from the Metro and a short drive or bus ride to all Alexandria/King Street restaurants/activities. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the rooms are decorated with taste and are kept in great shape. Overall, one can't go wrong staying at the Lorien.

Hi Monty1424, I am glad you appreciated the condition and location of the hotel, and that you found our staff to be very friendly. We hope to see you again soon, Thomas More

“Comfortable stay”

I was at the Lorien for a business function. Its a smaller hotel but the staff is very attentive to your needs. This being a Kimpton hotel, I am not usually concerned about quality and in this situation I was not disappointed. The room was very clean and relaxing, and beautifully/minimally appointed. The bed was very comfortable. The only concern... More

I had such a great experience at this hotel! The location is beautifully decorated and the staff was friendly and helpful.

“Wonderful alternative to DC hotels - Super pet friendly”

This is my 2nd stay here and thought I should rate my experience at the Hotel Lorien. When we first pulled into the hotel we were pleasantly greeted by the valet, who was more than happy to assist with all of the luggage and paraphernalia we had for our four-legged travel companion. Check-in was a breeze and everyone within the... More
